Despite more than 33 million Americans filing for unemployment in recent weeks due to the Chinese coronavirus crisis, business is continuing to demand more foreign workers to take jobs in the United States.

Florida’s E-Verify bill will likely push 140,000 illegals out of Florida jobs and make it difficult for employers to hire replacement workers at current wages, says a university study funded by the investors who are trying to block the E-Verify bill.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar is promising to tear down President Donald Trump’s border reforms which have almost stopped the northward flood of poor migrants into Americans’ workplaces, neighborhoods, and schools, and which have also raised wages and opened opportunities for sidelined Americans.
